Our read on DFVX

ETF.net Research

In short

ADimensional's value playbook with the dial turned up: roughly 300 large-cap US stocks, leaning toward the cheaper, more profitable, smaller end of the field. 0.18% net of a waiver through February 28, 2027.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

  • Costs 0.18% net of a waiver through February 28, 2027 (0.19% gross), below the category median and under sibling DFLV at 0.21%.
  • No fixed index to hug. The prospectus lets managers overweight or underweight eligible names on market cap, relative price and profitability.sec.gov
  • Roughly 300 holdings, with the prospectus design spreading risk across companies and sectors rather than concentrating in a handful of cheap bets.sec.gov
  • Stands in the top quartile of a crowded US value field on our review, one of the stronger builds among dozens of rivals.

Worth knowing

  • The tilts cut both ways: a basket skewed smaller and cheaper can move well apart from the S&P 500 in either direction.sec.gov
  • Trades lightly next to the category's giants, so limit orders and a glance at the spread are worth the extra click.
  • Launched in 2023, so the live record is short. Income shows up quarterly, not monthly.
